Half a Year

My photography style is to capture interaction and candid moments. I sometimes try and stay away from photographing anyone under a year all on their own. However, for my dear cousin, I made an exception and I am so glad that I did!
Her little guy N is so adorable and we had a lot of fun getting the shots together. His dad is from Peru and his mom has a strong Dutch heritage, I think the suitcase ones are a forecast of all the great travel that is in his future! I was also able to capture a few candid moments with his grandpa. N was feeling a bit done with getting his picture taken...and grandpa walked in and he calmed down, like magic! It was so sweet to see!

N had a big brother, who was a strong guy in spirit, but was born very early and had many surgeries in his first few months of life. Baby B was a fighter, but at 3 months the Lord called him home. My cousin brought pictures of Baby B and had N take his pictures with them. It was so touching and sweet and such a wonderful idea that she thought of.

Merriment Photography

Merriment Photography is located in Northwest Indiana and is all about capturing "Perfectly Imperfect Pictures". Your family in the most real way possible. Those special, candid moments that really tell your family story. I specialize in a photojournalistic approach to portrait photography. I want to capture the merry moments in your life that show the personality of your family.

On a shoot we will have fun, hopefully laugh a lot and be relaxed. Instead of "making a shoot" we will let them make themselves. I love props and colorful clothes for pictures, I will work with you to make sure that the feel that you want for your pictures comes through from start to finish.

I am the wife of a handsome, hard working man and the mother to three little chickens all under the age of 7 and another one on the way!. I have had a camera in my hand since I could walk and used to arrange photo shoots with my friends and brothers. I am self taught in the camera language and am working on building up credentials.

I love making old things new, memories, a home, and fun. This blog is about the act of merry making. All things whimsical, happy, fun, frivolous and fancy.
